The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon (2021) 338 pages
Shay Goldstein is twenty-nine and has worked as a producer in public radio for 10 years. Dominic Yun, twenty-five, has joined the station after receiving his master's degree in journalism from Northwestern. He seems a bit full of himself, always mentioning his degree. She is competent, but feels that he looks down on her.
When the cash-strapped station decides it needs a new program to draw in more listeners, their boss has them create a fake former relationship for a weekly show which they will co-host, where they will talk about what failed in their relationship. It's a lie, but the show is a success. When Shay and Dominic begin to actually experience interest in each other, everything gets topsy-turvy. They want to continue their careers, but not lose their budding relationship. Every time I thought I knew where this story was going, the author threw another wrench in it!
